Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 7th Nov: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch466

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 466

PRESS RELEASE
=============
With its washes of synths strings, tinkering electronic piano, detached vocals and layered harmonies delivered in Cromwell’s lush baritone, ‘The Winter Palace’ evokes an icy cold soundscape fit for the months of winter. Where the title track of his recent album ‘Memory Box’ is about losing the power of recall, ‘The Winter Palace’ is about trying to forget a lost love, but being haunted by them in his memory. Cromwell sings to his former love “I dream of you regardless, whether I am asleep or awake”.

With a majestic sweeping synth solo, that wouldn’t sound out of place on Bowie’s ‘Low’, sonically the song sits between classic new wave artists like Joy Division or OMD and more contemporary acts like Ladytron or Black Marble.

The B-side ‘Rod, Jane and Freddy,’ with its squelchy vintage synths and rumbling krautrock beat, is a playful technicoloured instrumental named after the performance group from 1980’s ITV children’s show Rainbow. 

‘The Winter Palace’ was recorded in Cromwell’s home studio in Catford, South London and was produced in Brooklyn, New York at ACME Hall Studio by Rich Bennett.

Since the release of his debut 'Age of Anxiety' album, Rodney Cromwell has been featured by the likes of NME, Electronic Sound, Huffington Post, Paste, Shindig!, Louder Than War, The Big Takeover, Magic RPM and the Bandcamp homepage. He’s had national radio play in Japan, Finland, Germany and multiple spins on RTE in Ireland, on BBC 6 Music in the UK and RNE3 in Spain for whom he recorded a live session.

The Rodney Cromwell live set is a joyful mixed-media extravaganza, incorporating analogue synths, video visuals and live instrumentation, interjected by Rodney’s 'offbeat wit'' (NME). His debut festival appearance at Indietracks was described as 'like a spiritual experience". He has shared stages with acts including A Flock of Seagulls, Pram, Death & Vanilla, Rowetta, M!R!M and Steve Davis. His sole performance in 2020 was as part of Damo Suzuki's backing band. In 2022 he recorded a live session for Electronic Sound and in autumn 2022 he is playing a number of dates supporting Blancmange.

The Winter Palace

RODNEY  CROMWELL The Winter Palace (Radio Edit)

I'm just a wanderer making genre-fluid music for introverts and outsiders. You can call me a rapper, or singer or WHATEVER! But I like to explore beyond the boundaries of genre, and I'm looking for other wanderers to come get lost with me.

Trainwreck is the last track on my new EP "Happy music for Depressed People". The song is cathartic anthem about mental health and persevering. I have a huge track record for being lost in life, and this song is kind of me getting a lot of feelings off my chest.

I hope it finds who needs it.

But in the meantime, come join The Creek.

Lyrics:

Will you still like me when I call you back?
I don't understand how you want me to act
Will you mind if I just be myself
Or would you rather that I pretend to be someone else
I won't mind if you wanna role play
I'm just not into playing mind games
Like uh-uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh

Got excited when I met you
Going off a feeling in a dark room
Can't remember what you look like
Just remember how your lips felt
Wake up in the morning 
No appetite 
Liquor on my breath from a long night
You were the highlight of a good time
Sorry I forgot after mai tais
That's just a habit of mine
Half my time I'm out my mind
Hope you don't mind
Hope I didn't say anything i cant rewind
Night was a blur but remember you
And I hope that you too
Save your number in my phone and
I hope you did too
Started texting 
All the details coming back to me
Now I know for sure I wanna see you again
Just remember that we danced all night
You held me close hope I feel it again cus

When I start drinking 
I'm a liability 
I cant trust what I'm about to say
I hope I didn't make
too big of an ass out of myself
out of myself

Will you still like me when I call you back?
I don't understand how you want me to act
Will you mind if I just be myself
Or would you rather that I pretend to be someone else
I won't mind if you wanna role play
I'm just not into playing mind games
Like uh-uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh

[LYRICS]:
in the backseat of my friend's truck
im wishing you the best luck
but its hard to cope when your whole damn life you've been entertained yeah
so I hope you had a good one
couple months then ill be all gone
only thing that youll see is my face and my bag and my fucking mattress

yet I dont feel anything at all
gonna watch me change the way I used to walk
guess its not your fault, ill just smoke it off
Ill let it all be gone, let it all be gone

the way I used to walk

so is it okay if i stay another night
got nowhere else to be except by your side
i know theres no more second chances
so imma take another hit and fucking miss that flight

thats my bad, i left the lights on
couple minutes ill be all gone
only thing that i see is your face and your smile and it fucking haunts me

I dont feel anything at all
you watched me change the way I used to talk
guess its not your fault, ill just smoke it off
Ill let it all be gone, let myself be gone

Ill let it all be gone, let myself be gone

Dias melhores - instrumental

this is a short short one, almost a teaser if you'd like not really a full track. But this one is about how my parents used to buy me things but now because i'm older they dont which makes me sad but alas it's one of the sad facts of life :(. It's also about how i felt my parents would sometimes buy my love as a kid. truth be told im now a broke university student. 
ANYWAY hope you like, it samples Beenzino's We are going to ( GO LISTEN, ALL OF HIS WORK IS AMAZING )
it also features vocal samples from fat joe, i just experimented a lil bit to see what it would sound like and i feel like it sounds pretty cool but idk that's up to you friends!

Lyrics:
I don't think my mum or my dad think it's funny
that i'm spending all their money
I know i can't afford it, why can't they just 
(check/cheque it)

Back when i was young i'd ask and i'd get it 
no matter how hard i'd cry 
what i wanted they would buy

but you can't buy my trust
when you haven't got the love
and when time costs too much 
then you'll end up in a rush 
you can spend everything as long as you spend time with me
as long as you spend time with me

Time with me
